By author Steven Clark BradleyGenre: Suspense Thrillerhttp://twitter.com/StevenBradleyhttp://publishedauthors.ning.com/profile/StevenClarkBradleyhttp://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Acts-Steven-Clark-Bradley/dp/1594316937/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234117254&sr=1-3 REVIEWHow can America ever forget what happened on September 11, 2001? A horrorthat's better known as 9-1-1, and a nightmare that shocked all Americans, adisaster that should have never occurred. While on a ship in Bermuda, thecaptain announced the terrifying event, three-thousand people aboard incomplete panic for their loved ones who they may have lost that day. As Iviewed the burning towers on TV, I immediately thought of friends who I knewworked there, and prayed in silence that their lives didn't end. I knew the amountof people that had to be hurt, and could silently hear the screams. Husbands,wives, and children. Pregnant women, firefighters, and police officers. Innocentbystanders, and tourists. I thought to myself, how many times have I looked upto the towers? But on this day, I never imagined devastation would occur!Me, along with millions of Americans who were all asking the same twoquestions, why, and how? Steven Clark Bradley's "PATRIOT ACTS" comes to life,and is as scary as the same day I witnessed the tragedy of the burning towers.He creates a picture-perfect image of terrorism, and brings it to life in hisadrenaline-pumping story of a nuclear attack after visiting thirty-fourcountries, and expertise on working as a freelance journalist. I recommend thisnovel to all those interested to learn about terrorism, for military fiction fans,and all thriller lovers. The reader is able to dive into the dangerous mind ofa terrorist, learning what motivates such a person, and why this person canbecome a walking time bomb. This novel leaves an aftermath behind, withouta doubt, and the readers will indeed keep thinking about the War on Terror,long after they close the book. For added touches, the author cleverly demonstrates what it feels like to live through a national crisis, and the readercan sense the fear through this remarkable story. "PATRIOT ACTS" is as intenseas "ARLINGTON ROAD" where your paranoia can become real, and is asmesmerizing as "WORLD TRADE CENTER."Geraldine Ahearn AIOM HonDGauthor of 6 booksFounding Member ABI Women's Review Board
